"Choice played little role when early games could only convey perspective in less glitzy fashions. Yet nowadays, we still see similar styles being adopted (with more advanced splashes, mind you) -- not for reasons of technical limitation, but as an intentional lens. 2.5D, which came as a response to the gradual deviation from the 2D perspective, is one of the modern approaches game designers use to breathe life into gameplay rooted along a linear plane, and this is precisely what drives Urban Trial Freestyle." -- Wiiloveit.com

I'm not into this "Elastomania" kind of games, but UTF surprised me. Mostly by its cleverly designed apocalyptic backgrounds that add to overall dynamics of the game. I liked the big explosions an destructions that sometimes affect the main track. It was really spectacular. I thought, that I'll just play through some levels, but ended up completing the game. Even without getting 100/100 on every level it still was fun and worth its price.
I played the game on a PSV and advise to give it a chance. From start to the end it's nice and decent game that perfectly fits for handheld format.
